The (ialphiu claim was presented to a Democratic Congress during Mr. Polk'a term ; a bill waa passed referring tho claim to tho Treasury Department fur payment, li. J.

Iho claim of Dr. Gardiner is one nf Ihuse cmuine out of tho war wilh Mexico. He wan a citizen ol ew York, burn on a beautiful Island in tlm llav bo- low tho ciiy of New Yoik, which is alill known ii" Gardiner's Island.'' Ho is a gentleman alt o heil ii his yoii'h lo the principles and organization o) Democratic parly, in which lie occupies ralhor n ouspicuoiin posiiiou. Alter leaving college ho studied medicine, and when he had ncipiin U ihi profession, lio was invited by his old prompter to iimunpauv him a a friend and physician through Mexico whither lie was going lor the henehl el his health. Dr. G. tic pled ihe pmpoml, nml b It New Orleans for Vera ru about I Hit;. He had, however, been but A few Weeks in Mexico when his old preceptor died, leaving him alone a stranger in a atrnngo laud ; but he waa u man of varied pc- uniplishmeniH ami scientific utimiinmni. mm'ik in-' ihe Spanish language correctly and with ease, he wiii also II versed in mineralogy and inululluryv. and was nnsmpiently soon in a lair way lo eel ulout in ihe world. I had forgotten to uientiou ilmt he had resided or n considerable en;:lh of lime on iho IhImmcI of Cuhn. and received a portion of his education in ihe city o Mavann. With the sum of leu thousand dollars, which he had ft after the death of his rriend. Dr. Gardiner pro-eded lo ihe city of Mexico, where he commenced the praclico of his proleSMou. and in a short time at-laiiinl a high position both professionally and soci illy. Profiling by his ucipiaiuhitico wilh 'fie scienro of iniiie- loi-y. lie begun by decree and caillion.lv lo soeeii- bile in Ihe mines for which that country haa been role irnteil rver since its inmiilest by Cortc. IW nili-mhug to the growing praclico of his profes sion, nml by hi successful mining speculation, ihe oriutii" oi ten ihoiisand do, ir. wilh wlicli Dr. (inrdi- tier entered iho city of Mexico, had, m the course ol n few yours, increased to filly thousand. About litis lime, General Waildy Thompson vn appointed Mini-ter from the United Stales In Mexico, and on Id urn val itiero, a meeting of llm American resident was held for Ihe pnrpnao of meeting hint with n suitable iiddresN upon hi entering ui-on the diith of his eflici". Dr. Gardiner w delegated bv ihe meelitii to nddrcan General Thompson on behalf of Iho American resi enis, mid his effort on Ihat occasion ia spoken ol as most ndmirahlo, whether considered as to its appropri ateness nr too elegance ni us style. I uientiou Hits mi cideui, my iriends, to give ymi aoine general idea of what aort ol man Ibis Gardiner wns, and in what ea, m he waa held by llmse who knew him veara bo lore Ina mane hecalue connected Willi tin- prosecution of a cl, urn against ihe United Stales. He was at this lime twenty. hve or twenty-six years of are. After Iho event to w hich I have alliuled, iho Doctor remained a short lime longer in Hie tiraclice of nietli cine, when he waa induced by Perrz (ialve, one of oiliest anu most oinneni Hankers in Mexico, whose favorable nctpiainlniice he had uintle, lo embark wilh him in nn extensive muiilig speculation. Galver, re- naed an mm h confidence in Ganliner'a inlegrily, and set no ingii a vnmo utton in niiamment ns a scietilitu miner, that he cave liim an tiulimileil loiter of credit wilh lids ho went lo San I.ui I'oioai, where he knew of iho location of an old silver initio nf great value, but unworked since the Itovoluiion by which Mexico be came independent of Spain and a Republic, The ns cords of ihi mine ho had found among llm nrrhives o tno i ;oilege o Mineralogists j lor t Intro tg in Mcxr 'o n('oe'enl 11ns description, endowed bv uoveru- tneiit, in which a lull history of nil Iho mines in iho 'mint rv. umlinicing a description of (heir chaniclen tics, and a statement of their relative values is rcronl- I. It was wlnlo examining Iho archivm of this in- siiiiiiion that )r. Gardiner found ihe history of this oni mine, anil wiiu a aagaciiy which term n mark trait in his rharncler, decided upon ila purchase. 1 aeipnred a complete title by purchasing the eslale, on which was the mine, ol the owners, and also by rxtin, gui'liing Ihe government tills tlieieln. With Ihe most snniMiine expectation of remnnera lion, and with the fihumlant capital w'hirh so great an enierprixe demiimied, or. (mrduier set to work nil king the most extensive and thorough preparations fi ihe cnmpleto ilevelopmeut of the mineral riches lie knew In exist in hi purchase. He employed aoine tilt) men, ami hud over .tui) mules and horses j ami im ported stores of provUhuis and good for Ihe sustenance and payment of this large force, wilh the inhabitants of iho Dislrtrt. He sunk shaf t ihree hundred yards into Ihe side of the mountain, built furnace, re I merle and houses, sent to the city of Liverpool for a power- mi sinnin engine, mm cunouctcu no 111 nterailous nil n scale comineiiaurnie with his view of I heir importance. n no pepummg oi ton year mil. no Had expended tho sum ol $. IIUUIOO in hia undertaking. Up in (his lime ho had been employed in preliminary work, preparing machinery, creeling buildings, and cleuiing away the rubbish of year. In the spring of this year the initio began to be productive in silver, aud up to ine ','imi uriooer mnuwiug 110 realized m average monthly return of anmethiug over 10,000. From (he 'Nllli nf Septemlier to the '.Midi of October ,,ne niotith lh pnaliittioii amounted to 'M.OOd worih of refined silver. Il wns at tin limn that the mine waa destroyed by the Mexican army. Hy the terma of a pre-existing treaty, t ilienaof (lie United Slatea resident in Mexico were entitled to pro- lection ill Ihe peaceable prosecution nf Iheir Iiiimiiorh ' merchant being excepted after one year from llm commencement of the war. Dr. Gardiner wni nn merchant, but a miner, ami confidently calculated ukui Ihe uninierruptcil proseciiliotiol Ins undertaking. At this time the Mexican army in the District nf Sn Louis polosi wn in a greally reduced rnmlilimi it wan neluaily sinning. With General Taylor n)i the one aide, ami General Scott on llm tidier, iho Mexican army waa hemmed in between two lire. Tho soldier in thia army wero mennly clothed, and badly equipped, unpaid, and poorly provisioned. The property nr or. Gardiner, ol an kinds, waa ot Iho last impor I tance to this army. The Urge almrea of provisions be 1 had laid to, his good, hia powdr and lead, wart all needed, and yon will not bo surprised toh Brn that ihe doctor received a formal notice from the Mexican General to leave hi mine nnd property within Ihree daya. Dr. Gardiner protested against this summary ami unwarrantable procedure, decluting that if in Ihe fuce of clear treaty stipulations he was driven from his possessions, the parties who dispossessed him were no heller than a hand of robbers. This declaration so incensed Ihe Mexican General that he ordered his soldiers to lake immediate possession of all the property valuable lo the army destroy Ihe balance, and shoot Gardiner! On the approach of Iho enemy, he fled without a companion, and without money without anything save a piece of rope, by the aid ol which he escaped over the almost impasaublo mountains of ihe District, aud surviving stiller iny nnd hardships which might make an interesting volume, finally Kiiccoedcd in joining Ihe American forces nt Tntnpico, about the last of October. He related hia history circumstantially and fully, and so favorubly impressed General Gates ihat ho appointed him a Surgeon in tho army, in which position lie performed valuable set vices during the war. In iho treaty of peace there was a provision lliat nil claima of citizen of this country upon the. Government of Mexico, should be paid by the United Stales, not exceeding tho amount of threo nnd one quarter million,, of dollar. If authenticated claima to that amount were nut presented, the balance remaining, it iscluiiu-ed, would accrue hi Mexico. W hether claims to a greateramount should be puid, wnsa tpieslion reserved by our Government. Now, observe that Dr. Gardiner's claim agninst Mexico was valid eighteen months before tho conclusion nf this treaty, and could nut have been contemplated by it any more limn Dr. Gardiner cmild have anticipated am h a provision as I have stated. Tho next point in this relation is the employment of General Waildy Thompson by Dr. Gardiner for Iho purpose of prosecuting hi claim under tho treaty of Guadalunpo Hidalgo, already noticed, before tho Commission at Washington appointed lor the purpose of passing upon the claims of citizens of tho United Slates for spoliations, &c. The Commission was created in March, 1810, and held an informal meeting tho April following. I attended tho first regular session, in June, 18l!l, and scarcely missed a day until the closu of Ihe session. Dr. Gardiner wns present from the first, with General Thompson, though I did not then know the former. Hia papers, though full and prepared wilh cure, did not conlorm to tho rules pruirilied by the Conimifsionera, which were very strict-. Ho had a copy of his protest, madu to the alcalde of his district : against the illegal destruction of his properly, nnd a ! letter from that ollicor and others relating (o tho value of tho property destroyed, &,. General Thompson look a copy of the forms of testimony, voucher, &c, prescribed by the Hoard, and advised Id client to ro-luru to Mexico nnd get hia paper from the proper aiilhoriliea and parties, in corresponding forms. At this time General Thompson proposed to Thomas Corwin to take a part, ns counsel, in tho prosecution of Ihe Gardiner claim, giving a must favorable re pre-1 sen mi ion 01 Mini gentleman s personal character as well as of Ihe juslice id' Ins claim. Mr. Corwin, then a stranger in Dr. Gardiner, accepted. Prior In this Gov. Corwin had been engaged in one or two other cases the " Union Land Company " and tho " Trinily Land Company "while he field tho olllcc of Senator. aud this you know, my fellow-citizens, ha been made the ground nt the most serious charges against his honor and integrity, cspecinllv since the Presidential couteal haa fairly begun. Now, don't you think it a monstrous Hung, that a man who lias devoted nil Ins lifo to iho practice of the law, should havo so tittle soll-renpecl, so little regard for bis constituents, ns to receive a fee in a case pending in the Supremo Court of the United States, nr in any other iudicial tribunal ut Washington, while he was there attending to their inierests us n member ol Ihe I niled Mutes HenntoT Yet, gentlemen, Ibis Commission for tho adjudication of claims against Mexico wa nf a strictly judicial char- i(TTnLi,nn hi 11 i'nu 11 emoraceti mo whole rntigo of common, maritime and international law. rhu claims which it had Teen constituted to adjust grew out of (he violation by Mexico nf her treatv stipulations, of maritime and revenue Inws, illegal confiscation, &c. The nnpenrancu of moinber.s of Coiiercs in Ihe Court at Washington is an every day occurrence.

Gardiner a claim as a aulnect lo make pa- litieal capital out ol 1 I return lo the history nl Ihe case Or. Gurdincr returned from Mexico in the fall of 1S4!, having pro cured ample evidence relative In the situation ol hi mine, amount nt property destroyed, nnd estimates ol lis value, all except perhaps the latler in proper form to be laid be lore the Commissioner. Among other document he brought a certified copy of a book which all miner in Mexico are required to keep- wherein an accurate account nt nil expenses incurred, weight nf ore raised, iVc, &c, are registered and iwv riodically certified to by tho Alcalde. Upon Ihi report iho government levies and collects n tax. The Alcalde ia lo watch thai the return as in ihe capital invested expense incurred, Ac, are not at too low n liuure nod you will readily ierceivo that the miner would bo quite careful not lo estimate Ilia ox peine and slm k too high. From this certified ropy of the Alcalde's book, it wn shown that Dr. Gardiner had expended for the improvement of his mine ihe sum of t:i:i0,0n() lb" preseiiletl also the deposition of a'l eminent Spanish merchant as to the amount received from iho Hunker Perex Gulvex, his own capital, and the money be hud made and wa making nut of the mine when it wns destroyed. That Gardiner had expended llm sum id :t:m,00h, we were able to prove in two way First, wo had the deposition of hia engineer a to the outlay lor tnipriivomeni, anil Hum wn had the olhcial stair menl ot lite A'caile, made up ul weekly report. I lie two modes of proof exhibited ihe same result. Altogether, there were some twenty depusitioiisi on these wu based our argument. At Iho outset the Hoard asked, Who it thit fr. Gar- diner that fotnrihrre icith claim for half a milium of dot-lari I W'nddy Thompson addressed a Hole lo Colonel Jet Verso u Davis, Democratic Senator from Mississippi, nskiug il ho knew him. Jellersou Davis replied, endorsing Ihe character of Or.

Another letter of like lone nml character from Democratic Senator Downs, of Louisiana, wasalsoaiibinitted. (loneral Gate of the United Slates Army, who waa commando g at Tuinptco when Gardiner escaped from the Mxi. 'an in his camp, aiul lo whom, nl ihat early day, he made a lull statement of ihe amount he had invested in Ins mine, and the leases lie had u stained a statement that had compared accurately with ihat of the Alcalde and the Un gineer's came forward with a letter, bearingihe highest testimonials to the character and probity of Gardiner. Judge L'irnol, performing judicial duties for ihe Uiiiu-d Stale nt Tntnpico dining tho war, another prominent Democrat from Mnrylnnd, nnd several others whose names now escape ine, gnve Gardiner Ihe most fluttering testimonials over their nwu signature. Alt these documents aro no tile lu the Deport men t nt Washington. Now in reference to all this, I have In say, that il these leader iu the Democratic party have palmed upon uaa acoundrel, the affair ia thaira, not our i, aud much last oi lha YVhiga. 1 The only allegatiii of fraud brought against Gardi uer, woa, that Inn pilers were forged. The Board directed its Noc rotary In submit tho papers lo the examination of iho Mexiiiii Minister, with a request to be informed if they wcto genuine. The Minister, whose business it was In Idjow of Iho authority of all Stale papers from his conktry, after a careful investigation pioiiouuced litem authentic. Alter hearing of lilt argument bused upon the facts I have stated, the L;ird decided that Dr. Gardiner should receive an uuulitil equal to that which it wn proved he had investoU in the mine, ri:: $:i:id,)00. To this wo nalurally obj'Wcd, urging lhal he should receive n compensation fcr ihe value of his mioo aa well aa for the money expended in developing that value. Hul the Hoard decide! that his testimony as to ihe prospective value of hs property was iusuflioielit if no insisted upon a higlor award, ho must bring from Mexico fuller anil mnrdppocitic evidence. Dr. Gardiner was iu in an embarrassed condition, the destruction ol' Ida properly in a foreign country hud left him almost deslitulol As one of the consequences he had lefl the country Jlargely in debt, ai d deemed it unsafe lo return in bid present condition. His old friend Perez Galvez was (lead, and he had 110 powerful friends in Mexico on whom liecould rely. He had im money for so expensive a jaurney. In thi dilemma General Thompson and myself both endeavored lo negotiate a loan for hint, and liiled. Wo also failed in our efforts to sell a share nf tlio claim. Capitalist, were afraid to invest, because, as ihey remark, il, Ihe Commii'siouers find yut seveml morn lis to it and in the meantime it might cetir that Gardiner's claim lacked support, ami ihe board bud Hie power lo revoke all il had done in his regnrd. At ibis lime Dr. Gardiner caino to me and insisted that I should purchase a share of Ins claim. At first nil verso to tlm proposal, my oh-jcclioiis were gradually overcome, and I purchased one-fourth of Dr. Gardiutir's claim for ihe hum of over $10,1100. This being a larger amount than I could command, anil one-half being a cudi payment, rnis ed tho money by yet tint! my Iriends in Washington and Ohio In endorse my piper. Among oth- rs I asked 1 nomas uorwiu, nnd you know U01 win signs every hoily's note. After this proposed lo Mr. Corwin thai an we had been associated as lawyers iu iho case, and heretofore I in business, he should join mo iu my pun base of an I interest in the Gardiner claim. He did so alter weigh-ing the matter iu his own mind, and finding no valid 1 objections in such a course. I his was 111 March, 1850. I u .Inly, Goueral Tnvlur died, and the ndminislralioii of the Government devoi veil un Millard Fillmoro, w ho 111 looking about him for discount ilutmmil mKiscra, so Incited Thomas Corwin to accept u p,,nt iu hit Cabinet iib Secretary of the Troiaury. ! in Hi in request lie waa joined by Daniel Webster,; but .ti r.

Sove- ral daya elapsed, dining which ho was urged to accept llm post, but percuipiorily refused, until Governor Young, of New York now in hisBruvo cume forward nnd proposed lo bike Mr. Corwin'H interest iu nil the latins before tho Hoard. Mr. Corwin did not know what was their value, and ho proposed lo take lor bis interest whatever sum Governor Yoiinir and myself should agree upon, but I found llm 1 iovi ruor 11 11 pro pa- rcu to pay so rniifii as l consider! il the interest worth. i proposed mysell to purchase Mr. Corwin s claim at the estimate 1 had promised to Young, hul to litis he would not listen, aiming Ihat hn.diould still be morally involved in the mutter, for if I profited by iho purchase lie knew I would f-hate it with him ; and if there was loss upon it lie would be utiw llline Ilmt I should bear the loss. An iinn euieiit was finally made with Gov. Younp. and to him Mr. Corwin made n full assignment of all hi interest in the claims; this was before Ihe meeting of Ihe board, and from that day lo ihi Thus. Corwin had 110 more connection wilh ihe mailer than any of you. George Law, an influential Democrat und unenterprising capitalist of New urk. nssisted Governor Young in purchasing Mr. Corwin's interest, nnd I have been credibly informed that he (Mr. Law appeared before die House Committee, raised to invesligale barges in tins regard against tho Secretary ol Ilia Treasury, and testified that Thomas Corwin bad had no connection whatever with iho Gardiner claim since he look his seat in the Cabinet. In the meantime Dr. Gardiner had nroceeded hi Mexico nnd procured evidence ns to the value of his mine from reliable parties, who leslilied thai it wits worth half a million of dotlntn. Ho brought proof ol proposition he had received iu Ul Hi from wealthy Mexicans fur one iwenty-totirili of the properly, w hich Would make t'-e whole worth between six und seven bundled thousand dollars.

But since he has seen proper to reler to the matter, 1 deem it my duty 10 present a tiuo statement of the facts. When Mr. Corwin wont into the Treasury Department, he found there, as chief clerk, an old man named McGmnii. whom he soon ascertained to be incompe tent to the performance of the responsible duties ot his station, in consequence of which he was removed and given a position in tlio Light House Bureau. The old mall was offended, and after 0 period approached the Secretary, and stated that he wished lo resign bis clerkship, inasmuch na he seemed not to enjoy the confidence of ihe bend of the Department! and asked in ho given some contracts for the construction of certain light houses in California. Mr. Corwin replied that a Mr. Delano, of Ohio, had asked for the tame contracts, and received some assurance that he should have them. They might, however, form a partnership in the matter, if they would build them on the terms prescribed by Congress. Delano and MiGinnia look 'ontract on the prescribed terms. About the Bfime lime a resolution was Introduced inlo the Senate by John 11. Wellor, appropriating the sum of $100,000 in addition to former appropriations for the cousirucifon of the same Light Houses. Mr. Delano, naturally surprised, asked what thia meant, and was informed by Senator Gwiu (but tho terms uoruioiore prescribed were ruinously low mat tney would lose $7,1,000 by their contract ! Poor McGinni "got scared" and annoyed Delano bo much ihat ihe latter, finding a parly who offered a bonut of $15,0(10 fur their contract, accepted tho offer, Of thia sum he paid McGiunis who had proved un incumbrance throughout $.1,000, telling him ut the same time ihat it would be oven more than a fair distribution, and that ho "had other partner.'1 McGiunis in hi rage and weakness wont about tho purlieus of iho Capital iiargiug that he htid been defrauded, nnd that was concerned wilh Delano that Delano told linn I was a partner! I, who was in Ohio and knew nothing of the matter not oven that there were any audi contracts. Hereupon, General Houston geta up his " Se nate Committee " on frauds, and sent fur tho old man Mi Ginnia to appear aud testify ; but at the same lime. it is said, privately, enjoining upon him to slay nut of tlm way, Mint the breeze might bo tanned Into a storm iy industriously using the telegraph, in thlorm the :otintry ihat an important wilnesa for the Government against n public ntlicer accused of fraud, &c, had refused to testify, was imprisoned, &c., &c The scene slither woiked nimbly, however, tor in a day or two Mr Hrodhead, of Pennsylvania, nsea in the Senate, aud announces that Mr. McGinni trill testify. At this posture ol athnrs I wus iu Washington, but could get im opportunity to appenr before the committee. Mr. Delano wns iu Ohio ami sick. I made a full deposition of all Ihe facts as I hail learned them, sent it lo the Department, und then left fur Ihio lu secure ihe tcsii mony of Mr. Delano, whom, however, I pm-sod oil tho road.

Willi Ihe cmummico of other Senatorial worthies, who were to he helped in return, this resolution urnntim: additional compensation In the amount of $100,000 for building certain light house, was in trod need. The prettily laid scheme was defeated by ihe sale of Iho original contract on which n loss of $7.1.000 wn announced tor a bmut ol $15,000.

This weak, vain old man. whose own character bus never been considered spotless, greatly miscalculated 1 his influence when ho undertook this business. Could I ho come with a character like that nf an angel of ligjit, he would find much ditlicnlty in making hi old con stituenls believe that Thomas Corwin ha been guilty of corrupt conduct ; but coming in the shape ol a low specimen ot the low order ut lexas politicians, his impotence is almost as worthy of pity as contempt. I cannot dismiss this big-hulled slanderer, however, without some nlluioii to his own attempts at Galphinism. And first, I will refer lo hi mileage swindle, hy which he look from the Treasury $'2400 furcDnsfmci'irc going from Washington to Texas and returning within the few minute intervening between the rloae of a regular session and I be formal calling hi order of an extra tession nf tho Senate, in 18.11. Then there is the Texas len million bill, a Houston swindle, compared with which the Swurtwouia and Galphin appear limid men and petty rogue. Mr. Corwin then pro, ded to an txpottaX Iho pur- pow subserved by the passage ol what wa known a Iho ' Texas ten million bill," showing that the enor mous sum of five millions was intended for the hold- rs of Texas bond, nf which Houston was understood lo be one, who Were now before Congress with a prop. iHHioii lo mnke Iho sum etuht millions instead ol mo. was proved lhal Houston had admitted that Texas had no valid right In the territory for which she and her public men received leu million of dollars! and yet ihe Heti dnr with llm umbrella hat and deer-skin vest beaut il'til model ol republieansimplicity 'got an amendment to the appropriation bill passed through iho Senate increasing tlm five to eight million Texan bonds wero bought at a heavy di'cminl; five mil ium of dollars would pny the principal ami omethiug more, und nllord iho holder a profit of perhaps three hundred per cent, mists hot enough tor tins virtu ous Locoloco, who one day uses his influence in the Senate lo force a hill through that body which puts money in his own pocket; aud the next denounces a brother Senator w ho goes uut into the Cnurl aud earn 11 fee by practicing hi profession.

Rohinson, who lias published an expose of Now Hampshire Locofocnistn, in connection with the Anti- Catholic test in tho Constitution of that Stale. 8am Houston attempted to abuse and vilify him in hia peech here. He did not offer to prove a single state ment of Homnion's falte, and in this he took the prudent aido, because the truth of his assertion is too abundantly sustained by reference to tho oflkial re cord, to he met by any thing except abuso. Tho Statesman, following tho example of Houston and others, haa dealt in the same kind of argument, without citing n single fact to sustain itself. The Nm York Herald published nn article over iho signature of " Hickory Switch," which bo far departed from the usual course a to attempt lu specify where Robinson had misrepresented. The following answer prepared by him, was offered tn the Herald, but with his characteristic want of political honesty, Uknnrt refuted lo publish it. We trust it will be carefully rend. It is a full, able, and triumphant defence of his speech, and putt Houston, and the other abusers of Rohinson Hat on their backs. Abuse and vilification will not pass for fads, in a controversy of tbis kind : Mr. Robingon'i Reply. To the Editor of the New York It. raid : Naw York, Friday, Sept. 3, 18!2. I now turn to " Hickorv Switch." Whv was he afrnid to give hi name 1 No honest man reason from behind n mask. Let him como nut nnd tho money is hi, if ho proven that I have stated what is unsustained by Ihe official documents. Instead, however, of selecting any one of these propositions, according lo my offer, ho deals in generalities, and, without submitting ihe decision lo any referee, claims that twelve of my (eight) propositions are false ! Hut I will follow him through his twisting. Tho first point ho raises ia that Benjamin Pierce, when he voted to retain ihe sixth article in Ihe constitution of 1792, providing, " for the support of public Protestant leacliers." so voted for the sake of extending ihe pro led ion of the law to " every denomination nl Christians." I have nut said irAyhe voted to keep the Anti-Cniholic test in ; I only said he did vote lo koep it in ; and this " Hickory Switch" acknowledges is inie. I doubt the truth of hi assertion ihat in 7(J'i there wu neither Catholic nor Jew in Now Hampshire; nor would tlmt niter the principle even if it were so. The next point attempted in ho ma do is that, un ihe four 1J1 day of Ihe Convention, Benjamin Pierce did not vote for retaining Ihe words " shall lie nf (he 1'ro-leaiantaut religion, in the 14th section. The writer, however, acknowledges that Benjamin Pierce is not recorded among those in favor id Catholic Emancipation. The records show tlmt he was present, ami every one vol ing in favor of atriking out tho " odious ilistine-lion " is recorded, 'and three more than tlio ntlicial number interlined ; yol Benjamin Pierce does not tip rear among the original recorded friends of Cailmlic Emancipation, nor even among the interlineations. In such a contest aa this, it does not need inspired auihor-iiy In prove that he who ia not for i ngainst ns, particularly as wo find that on a previous section he voted to retain the word " Protestant." The next assertion of "Hickory Switch" is, that in my speecn l asserted there wn no anti-Popery clause in the original constitution, till Ben Pierce nut it in. I never said ao. W hat I said appears as follow, 011 the fourth pie of my speech in pamphlet : 1 lie nrsi constitution wan forimd in r.xeier tn I77n, d wm called the ' Temporary Constitution.' I read in manuscript, and found iu it no anti -Catholic test. Ihat we bad 110 bigotry nil after Ihe Uovoluiion. All his remarks 011 this head, the re lore 110 for notli ing, ns Ihey go to ubsnt what i never said. tt is not wor'li wlnle to ouihb onhoot whether Be 11 jamin Pierre voted tn put ihe Ami, Catholic test in the uonsiibitiori ot 17!i, or voted against striking it out. When n Convention is called to form an entirely now Constitution, and a Committee report n draft, whether original or copied from a part of the old Constitution. nnd a motion is made in strike out, any portion of ihoe uiai voie against striking out, vole lo put it in no next denies my assertion that old benjamin ierce voted for the Alien and Sedition Laws. If he ill look into (he ntlicial report of the hroeeeilines of iho New Hampshire Legislature, iu 17!l!, of which Benjamin Pierce was a member, he will find llie Alien and Sedition resolution in full, and that ihey wero unanimoutly adopted, June 14, I7!!. Il lakes some rniruiuooti in deny bo plain a historical and recorded truth as ihi. He says (hat I asserted that Franklin Pierce never made any snoech nn iho subject at all. I never said so. What I said is contained in ihe first of the eight proposition. If nny of Mr. Pierce'e friends can show tent he spoke in favor of striking out the Anti-Catholic lci tehtte that tuhjeet was before the Contention, I will forfeit Ihe sum mentioned. 11 is next point is. that it waa not Mr. Parker, f Whie) if Nashua, ihat brought forward the aulnect of Cat ho- lio Emancipation, when it was discussed, (Nov. Ill, ieoir.;as 1 nave staled in proamnion no. indeed, he round I y asserts : " It does not aiuwur bv the record ihat Mr. Parker had any thing lu do with either bring ing torwnrd or favoring the resolution. I crave special attention to this. I havo the official reportconipleie.iii my room in this City, where any one interested can see it. Now, just look at the fol lowing ox t far Is, nnd ihe 11 pulce between "Hickorv Switch," and me. Tho leading debate, when Judge Woodbury made Ins great speech on Catholic Emancipation, look place Nov. 13, 1810. Now, hero are two extracts verbatim from Ihe report of that day's proceedings : " On motion of Mr. Parker, of jVosAroi. the Convention resolved itsell into (be Committee of the Whole on the report of the committee on Properly Ijualilicntiona and ifeiigious tests, Mr. Kayer, ol Nashua, 111 the chuir.

Mr. Heimet: you see how hard it is for me tn a rime with a foul-mouihfd crew, who utter such reckless untruths without risking a penny, which might ho lost, or even giving Iheir mime, which might be branded in iheir exposure! Mr. "Hickory Switch" says, perhaps 1 mean to quibble by saying that advocating Catholic Biimucipa- lion 111 rommmefl 01 llie w Hole was not advocating il in Convention. I mean no such quibble. I repeat my first proposition that Franklin Pierce did net speak in favor of Catholic Emancipation, either in Convention or committee of the Wlmle, during tho whole lime the matter wns heforo the Convention or coininiliee, and one hundred dollars are ready for the man who will shew thai I mistake the facts. The next and Inst charge I shall notice, is. lluit I shi ted lhal a mere majority could alter the Constitution. I never made such an assertion, the fact thai I quoted the clause nf the Constitution providing lhal a majority nt two third of the voles cast shall lie, necessary, shows this. Uut what I did state, and what is true. is that every seven years ihe Qonstituliou of I7!'J com pelled the people lo vole wbeiher a Convention lo sbike nut such odious feature as lest clauses from the Constitution should be called, and that again and again anon lor urn want 01 a bare majority.

Wo auy thia, knowing what 10c utter. And now, for the proof. We quolo from authority that no Democrat will deny. We refer time, to the papers, fo everything that is necessary to make tho cvidenco complete and overwhelming. 010 Native American movement first commenced ill Now York, In the fall of 1813. Certain Locofoco thought tho Locofoco conncil of that day wns giving too many of tho small ofiice of the city to Irishmen. They wnutcd llie places themselves, just a is now the case among the Locofocos of Hamilton county, and because they could not got them they bolted, nnd do. lerminml ihey would not vote for a foreigner for any otlico. Bitter quarrels ensued, und personal violence wus ihe order of the day. To prove that thia ditlicnlty was of purely Locofoco origin, wo qnole from the Washington Globe, of November 10, 1843. Thia paper wns, at that time, the organ of tho Locofoco party of the nation.

They have confmud the deed! Now, gentlemen, shut your mouths or stand branded as knaves. LOCOFOCO STATE POLICY. The Canton Repository hns an article which shows up the course of the l.ocolhcu party in Ohio, in its Irue clors. Wn copy 11 portion of it thai tho people may bo again reminded of tho facts, and lhn radical difference between llie l wo parties iu the manage ment of the finances ol ihe Stale. Let the reader compare Iho expenses of Legislatures and of printing when under the Whig rule, wilh the opiHisitc. The difference is about the same in nil the departments of Ihe public service: Well, after the Whigs hud done all this, in 18.11-2, the Lttcos got into power. They promised lo give us a cheap model Constitution, and a Locofoco model Tnx Law with iiono of yonr Whig monstrosities. They pave us a Constitution with some good provi-rioiia, and lomo Loco inoiiatroities--nt an expense of tiou,uoii more uinu 1110 gnou oni w nig one cost. Thai Constitution provides for biennial sessions of Ihe Legis lature, or one 111 two year out tue nrsi been Legislature under it provided for tico sessions of the Legislature in one yearl They have given us Iheir model 'l ux Law, which taxes nut only what Loco editor charged wn wrong, but "everything subject tonwnership, animate or inanimate" even including sucking rios, treks, tom-cats, nrrs, rxwriCR srimns, chickens, orxsr, bi-hi ka, eic. , and banks three In four time as much a in-dithlutils. Il is true il exempts $200, which let i ff ihe rich man's piano, ihe dnmly's go'U watch and rings, and many who have mil '.MID worth of properly but ihe farmer especially, and all who own real estate, are laxed upon nil Ihey own or owe upon it. No unequal and unjust is it, that we bnve seen no fanner or landholder who does not condemn it, either Whig or Loco. Hut ihe Slnlesman, Shirk Connly Democrat, etc., are silent on ihe subject .none of ihem denounce any pari of it now. They have also passed a model alrv bill: Tdi- raises iho salary about nrrv rr.it cint. the (ioveruor $l,SII0 j Lieutenant (inverimr $0 a day, during llie es-ion of the Legislature; Supremo Judge 1.71)0 ; Common Plea and Ciimimil C.airta $l,.r.0ll j Secretary of Stain M,4H0 Trenurer ft ..Mm; Auditor fl,(il); Librarian Altnrney dei.er.d if 1,000 and three per cent, collection, but not to exceed if 1 4lil); Board ol Public Work l,r00 each; Judge of throe Hnecial Court at Cincinnati nml Cleveland $ l.fillO ench ; Judge anu nciH 111 cii-cimu irom fit con ia to f.' r ilav ; members nf ihe Legislature, clerk and dour keepers 1 1 tier day. 1 his in the way Ihe Locos have rams! salaries, and t nut n wold of complaint from these Loco edit., fa who were so horror stricken nt the Wbiy rnisiin? anl. rie some e.'t per ce hi !

Iho claim of Dr. Gardiner is one nf Ihuse cmuine out of tho war wilh Mexico. He wan a citizen ol ew York, burn on a beautiful Island in tlm llav bo- low tho ciiy of New Yoik, which is alill known ii" Gardiner's Island.'' Ho is a gentleman alt o heil ii his yoii'h lo the principles and organization o) Democratic parly, in which lie occupies ralhor n ouspicuoiin posiiiou. Alter leaving college ho studied medicine, and when he had ncipiin U ihi profession, lio was invited by his old prompter to iimunpauv him a a friend and physician through Mexico whither lie was going lor the henehl el his health. Dr. G. tic pled ihe pmpoml, nml b It New Orleans for Vera ru about I Hit;. He had, however, been but A few Weeks in Mexico when his old preceptor died, leaving him alone a stranger in a atrnngo laud ; but he waa u man of varied pc- uniplishmeniH ami scientific utimiinmni. mm'ik in-' ihe Spanish language correctly and with ease, he wiii also II versed in mineralogy and inululluryv. and was nnsmpiently soon in a lair way lo eel ulout in ihe world. I had forgotten to uientiou ilmt he had resided or n considerable en;:lh of lime on iho IhImmcI of Cuhn. and received a portion of his education in ihe city o Mavann. With the sum of leu thousand dollars, which he had ft after the death of his rriend. Dr. Gardiner pro-eded lo ihe city of Mexico, where he commenced the praclico of his proleSMou. and in a short time at-laiiinl a high position both professionally and soci illy. Profiling by his ucipiaiuhitico wilh 'fie scienro of iniiie- loi-y. lie begun by decree and caillion.lv lo soeeii- bile in Ihe mines for which that country haa been role irnteil rver since its inmiilest by Cortc. IW nili-mhug to the growing praclico of his profes sion, nml by hi successful mining speculation, ihe oriutii" oi ten ihoiisand do, ir. wilh wlicli Dr. (inrdi- tier entered iho city of Mexico, had, m the course ol n few yours, increased to filly thousand. About litis lime, General Waildy Thompson vn appointed Mini-ter from the United Stales In Mexico, and on Id urn val itiero, a meeting of llm American resident was held for Ihe pnrpnao of meeting hint with n suitable iiddresN upon hi entering ui-on the diith of his eflici". Dr. Gardiner w delegated bv ihe meelitii to nddrcan General Thompson on behalf of Iho American resi enis, mid his effort on Ihat occasion ia spoken ol as most ndmirahlo, whether considered as to its appropri ateness nr too elegance ni us style. I uientiou Hits mi cideui, my iriends, to give ymi aoine general idea of what aort ol man Ibis Gardiner wns, and in what ea, m he waa held by llmse who knew him veara bo lore Ina mane hecalue connected Willi tin- prosecution of a cl, urn against ihe United Stales. He was at this lime twenty. hve or twenty-six years of are. After Iho event to w hich I have alliuled, iho Doctor remained a short lime longer in Hie tiraclice of nietli cine, when he waa induced by Perrz (ialve, one of oiliest anu most oinneni Hankers in Mexico, whose favorable nctpiainlniice he had uintle, lo embark wilh him in nn extensive muiilig speculation. Galver, re- naed an mm h confidence in Ganliner'a inlegrily, and set no ingii a vnmo utton in niiamment ns a scietilitu miner, that he cave liim an tiulimileil loiter of credit wilh lids ho went lo San I.ui I'oioai, where he knew of iho location of an old silver initio nf great value, but unworked since the Itovoluiion by which Mexico be came independent of Spain and a Republic, The ns cords of ihi mine ho had found among llm nrrhives o tno i ;oilege o Mineralogists j lor t Intro tg in Mcxr 'o n('oe'enl 11ns description, endowed bv uoveru- tneiit, in which a lull history of nil Iho mines in iho 'mint rv. umlinicing a description of (heir chaniclen tics, and a statement of their relative values is rcronl- I. It was wlnlo examining Iho archivm of this in- siiiiiiion that )r. Gardiner found ihe history of this oni mine, anil wiiu a aagaciiy which term n mark trait in his rharncler, decided upon ila purchase. 1 aeipnred a complete title by purchasing the eslale, on which was the mine, ol the owners, and also by rxtin, gui'liing Ihe government tills tlieieln. With Ihe most snniMiine expectation of remnnera lion, and with the fihumlant capital w'hirh so great an enierprixe demiimied, or. (mrduier set to work nil king the most extensive and thorough preparations fi ihe cnmpleto ilevelopmeut of the mineral riches lie knew In exist in hi purchase. He employed aoine tilt) men, ami hud over .tui) mules and horses j ami im ported stores of provUhuis and good for Ihe sustenance and payment of this large force, wilh the inhabitants of iho Dislrtrt. He sunk shaf t ihree hundred yards into Ihe side of the mountain, built furnace, re I merle and houses, sent to the city of Liverpool for a power- mi sinnin engine, mm cunouctcu no 111 nterailous nil n scale comineiiaurnie with his view of I heir importance. n no pepummg oi ton year mil. no Had expended tho sum ol $. IIUUIOO in hia undertaking. Up in (his lime ho had been employed in preliminary work, preparing machinery, creeling buildings, and cleuiing away the rubbish of year. In the spring of this year the initio began to be productive in silver, aud up to ine ','imi uriooer mnuwiug 110 realized m average monthly return of anmethiug over 10,000. From (he 'Nllli nf Septemlier to the '.Midi of October ,,ne niotith lh pnaliittioii amounted to 'M.OOd worih of refined silver. Il wns at tin limn that the mine waa destroyed by the Mexican army. Hy the terma of a pre-existing treaty, t ilienaof (lie United Slatea resident in Mexico were entitled to pro- lection ill Ihe peaceable prosecution nf Iheir Iiiimiiorh ' merchant being excepted after one year from llm commencement of the war. Dr. Gardiner wni nn merchant, but a miner, ami confidently calculated ukui Ihe uninierruptcil proseciiliotiol Ins undertaking. At this time the Mexican army in the District nf Sn Louis polosi wn in a greally reduced rnmlilimi it wan neluaily sinning. With General Taylor n)i the one aide, ami General Scott on llm tidier, iho Mexican army waa hemmed in between two lire. Tho soldier in thia army wero mennly clothed, and badly equipped, unpaid, and poorly provisioned. The property nr or. Gardiner, ol an kinds, waa ot Iho last impor I tance to this army. The Urge almrea of provisions be 1 had laid to, his good, hia powdr and lead, wart all needed, and yon will not bo surprised toh Brn that ihe doctor received a formal notice from the Mexican General to leave hi mine nnd property within Ihree daya. Dr. Gardiner protested against this summary ami unwarrantable procedure, decluting that if in Ihe fuce of clear treaty stipulations he was driven from his possessions, the parties who dispossessed him were no heller than a hand of robbers. This declaration so incensed Ihe Mexican General that he ordered his soldiers to lake immediate possession of all the property valuable lo the army destroy Ihe balance, and shoot Gardiner! On the approach of Iho enemy, he fled without a companion, and without money without anything save a piece of rope, by the aid ol which he escaped over the almost impasaublo mountains of ihe District, aud surviving stiller iny nnd hardships which might make an interesting volume, finally Kiiccoedcd in joining Ihe American forces nt Tntnpico, about the last of October. He related hia history circumstantially and fully, and so favorubly impressed General Gates ihat ho appointed him a Surgeon in tho army, in which position lie performed valuable set vices during the war. In iho treaty of peace there was a provision lliat nil claima of citizen of this country upon the. Government of Mexico, should be paid by the United Stales, not exceeding tho amount of threo nnd one quarter million,, of dollar. If authenticated claima to that amount were nut presented, the balance remaining, it iscluiiu-ed, would accrue hi Mexico. W hether claims to a greateramount should be puid, wnsa tpieslion reserved by our Government. Now, observe that Dr. Gardiner's claim agninst Mexico was valid eighteen months before tho conclusion nf this treaty, and could nut have been contemplated by it any more limn Dr. Gardiner cmild have anticipated am h a provision as I have stated. Tho next point in this relation is the employment of General Waildy Thompson by Dr. Gardiner for Iho purpose of prosecuting hi claim under tho treaty of Guadalunpo Hidalgo, already noticed, before tho Commission at Washington appointed lor the purpose of passing upon the claims of citizens of tho United Slates for spoliations, &c. The Commission was created in March, 1810, and held an informal meeting tho April following. I attended tho first regular session, in June, 18l!l, and scarcely missed a day until the closu of Ihe session. Dr. Gardiner wns present from the first, with General Thompson, though I did not then know the former. Hia papers, though full and prepared wilh cure, did not conlorm to tho rules pruirilied by the Conimifsionera, which were very strict-. Ho had a copy of his protest, madu to the alcalde of his district : against the illegal destruction of his properly, nnd a ! letter from that ollicor and others relating (o tho value of tho property destroyed, &,. General Thompson look a copy of the forms of testimony, voucher, &c, prescribed by the Hoard, and advised Id client to ro-luru to Mexico nnd get hia paper from the proper aiilhoriliea and parties, in corresponding forms. At this time General Thompson proposed to Thomas Corwin to take a part, ns counsel, in tho prosecution of Ihe Gardiner claim, giving a must favorable re pre-1 sen mi ion 01 Mini gentleman s personal character as well as of Ihe juslice id' Ins claim. Mr. Corwin, then a stranger in Dr. Gardiner, accepted. Prior In this Gov. Corwin had been engaged in one or two other cases the " Union Land Company " and tho " Trinily Land Company "while he field tho olllcc of Senator. aud this you know, my fellow-citizens, ha been made the ground nt the most serious charges against his honor and integrity, cspecinllv since the Presidential couteal haa fairly begun. Now, don't you think it a monstrous Hung, that a man who lias devoted nil Ins lifo to iho practice of the law, should havo so tittle soll-renpecl, so little regard for bis constituents, ns to receive a fee in a case pending in the Supremo Court of the United States, nr in any other iudicial tribunal ut Washington, while he was there attending to their inierests us n member ol Ihe I niled Mutes HenntoT Yet, gentlemen, Ibis Commission for tho adjudication of claims against Mexico wa nf a strictly judicial char- i(TTnLi,nn hi 11 i'nu 11 emoraceti mo whole rntigo of common, maritime and international law. rhu claims which it had Teen constituted to adjust grew out of (he violation by Mexico nf her treatv stipulations, of maritime and revenue Inws, illegal confiscation, &c. The nnpenrancu of moinber.s of Coiiercs in Ihe Court at Washington is an every day occurrence.

I only seek to strip the matter of iho partisan character witn winch, lor the purposes o tlio hour, our political enemies would clothe the subject hern in Ohio, wheie Ihey presume on lack of information among the people.

Gardiner a claim as a aulnect lo make pa- litieal capital out ol 1 I return lo the history nl Ihe case Or. Gurdincr returned from Mexico in the fall of 1S4!, having pro cured ample evidence relative In the situation ol hi mine, amount nt property destroyed, nnd estimates ol lis value, all except perhaps the latler in proper form to be laid be lore the Commissioner. Among other document he brought a certified copy of a book which all miner in Mexico are required to keep- wherein an accurate account nt nil expenses incurred, weight nf ore raised, iVc, &c, are registered and iwv riodically certified to by tho Alcalde. Upon Ihi report iho government levies and collects n tax. The Alcalde ia lo watch thai the return as in ihe capital invested expense incurred, Ac, are not at too low n liuure nod you will readily ierceivo that the miner would bo quite careful not lo estimate Ilia ox peine and slm k too high. From this certified ropy of the Alcalde's book, it wn shown that Dr. Gardiner had expended for the improvement of his mine ihe sum of t:i:i0,0n() lb" preseiiletl also the deposition of a'l eminent Spanish merchant as to the amount received from iho Hunker Perex Gulvex, his own capital, and the money be hud made and wa making nut of the mine when it wns destroyed. That Gardiner had expended llm sum id :t:m,00h, we were able to prove in two way First, wo had the deposition of hia engineer a to the outlay lor tnipriivomeni, anil Hum wn had the olhcial stair menl ot lite A'caile, made up ul weekly report. I lie two modes of proof exhibited ihe same result. Altogether, there were some twenty depusitioiisi on these wu based our argument. At Iho outset the Hoard asked, Who it thit fr.

Another letter of like lone nml character from Democratic Senator Downs, of Louisiana, wasalsoaiibinitted. (loneral Gate of the United Slates Army, who waa commando g at Tuinptco when Gardiner escaped from the Mxi. 'an in his camp, aiul lo whom, nl ihat early day, he made a lull statement of ihe amount he had invested in Ins mine, and the leases lie had u stained a statement that had compared accurately with ihat of the Alcalde and the Un gineer's came forward with a letter, bearingihe highest testimonials to the character and probity of Gardiner. Judge L'irnol, performing judicial duties for ihe Uiiiu-d Stale nt Tntnpico dining tho war, another prominent Democrat from Mnrylnnd, nnd several others whose names now escape ine, gnve Gardiner Ihe most fluttering testimonials over their nwu signature. Alt these documents aro no tile lu the Deport men t nt Washington. Now in reference to all this, I have In say, that il these leader iu the Democratic party have palmed upon uaa acoundrel, the affair ia thaira, not our i, aud much last oi lha YVhiga. 1 The only allegatiii of fraud brought against Gardi uer, woa, that Inn pilers were forged. The Board directed its Noc rotary In submit tho papers lo the examination of iho Mexiiiii Minister, with a request to be informed if they wcto genuine. The Minister, whose business it was In Idjow of Iho authority of all Stale papers from his conktry, after a careful investigation pioiiouuced litem authentic. Alter hearing of lilt argument bused upon the facts I have stated, the L;ird decided that Dr. Gardiner should receive an uuulitil equal to that which it wn proved he had investoU in the mine, ri:: $:i:id,)00. To this wo nalurally obj'Wcd, urging lhal he should receive n compensation fcr ihe value of his mioo aa well aa for the money expended in developing that value. Hul the Hoard decide! that his testimony as to ihe prospective value of hs property was iusuflioielit if no insisted upon a higlor award, ho must bring from Mexico fuller anil mnrdppocitic evidence. Dr. Gardiner was iu in an embarrassed condition, the destruction ol' Ida properly in a foreign country hud left him almost deslitulol As one of the consequences he had lefl the country Jlargely in debt, ai d deemed it unsafe lo return in bid present condition. His old friend Perez Galvez was (lead, and he had 110 powerful friends in Mexico on whom liecould rely. He had im money for so expensive a jaurney. In thi dilemma General Thompson and myself both endeavored lo negotiate a loan for hint, and liiled. Wo also failed in our efforts to sell a share nf tlio claim. Capitalist, were afraid to invest, because, as ihey remark, il, Ihe Commii'siouers find yut seveml morn lis to it and in the meantime it might cetir that Gardiner's claim lacked support, ami ihe board bud Hie power lo revoke all il had done in his regnrd. At ibis lime Dr. Gardiner caino to me and insisted that I should purchase a share of Ins claim. At first nil verso to tlm proposal, my oh-jcclioiis were gradually overcome, and I purchased one-fourth of Dr. Gardiutir's claim for ihe hum of over $10,1100. This being a larger amount than I could command, anil one-half being a cudi payment, rnis ed tho money by yet tint! my Iriends in Washington and Ohio In endorse my piper. Among oth- rs I asked 1 nomas uorwiu, nnd you know U01 win signs every hoily's note. After this proposed lo Mr. Corwin thai an we had been associated as lawyers iu iho case, and heretofore I in business, he should join mo iu my pun base of an I interest in the Gardiner claim. He did so alter weigh-ing the matter iu his own mind, and finding no valid 1 objections in such a course. I his was 111 March, 1850. I u .Inly, Goueral Tnvlur died, and the ndminislralioii of the Government devoi veil un Millard Fillmoro, w ho 111 looking about him for discount ilutmmil mKiscra, so Incited Thomas Corwin to accept u p,,nt iu hit Cabinet iib Secretary of the Troiaury. ! in Hi in request lie waa joined by Daniel Webster,; but .ti r. Corwin replied ilmt he whs interested in n pri-vate claim ngaiiiat the United Btatea Trensiu v, Ihat Crawford had been charged wiihcomiiiitliu-' a wrung in being interested iu a claim while a member of ihe Cabinet, mid he would not place himself in n situation which would Mibjeet him to a similar chanre. Sove- ral daya elapsed, dining which ho was urged to accept llm post, but percuipiorily refused, until Governor Young, of New York now in hisBruvo cume forward nnd proposed lo bike Mr. Corwin'H interest iu nil the latins before tho Hoard. Mr. Corwin did not know what was their value, and ho proposed lo take lor bis interest whatever sum Governor Yoiinir and myself should agree upon, but I found llm 1 iovi ruor 11 11 pro pa- rcu to pay so rniifii as l consider! il the interest worth. i proposed mysell to purchase Mr. Corwin s claim at the estimate 1 had promised to Young, hul to litis he would not listen, aiming Ihat hn.diould still be morally involved in the mutter, for if I profited by iho purchase lie knew I would f-hate it with him ; and if there was loss upon it lie would be utiw llline Ilmt I should bear the loss. An iinn euieiit was finally made with Gov. Younp. and to him Mr. Corwin made n full assignment of all hi interest in the claims; this was before Ihe meeting of Ihe board, and from that day lo ihi Thus. Corwin had 110 more connection wilh ihe mailer than any of you. George Law, an influential Democrat und unenterprising capitalist of New urk. nssisted Governor Young in purchasing Mr. Corwin's interest, nnd I have been credibly informed that he (Mr. Law appeared before die House Committee, raised to invesligale barges in tins regard against tho Secretary ol Ilia Treasury, and testified that Thomas Corwin bad had no connection whatever with iho Gardiner claim since he look his seat in the Cabinet. In the meantime Dr. Gardiner had nroceeded hi Mexico nnd procured evidence ns to the value of his mine from reliable parties, who leslilied thai it wits worth half a million of dotlntn. Ho brought proof ol proposition he had received iu Ul Hi from wealthy Mexicans fur one iwenty-totirili of the properly, w hich Would make t'-e whole worth between six und seven bundled thousand dollars. The Hoatd, however, never chaiiL'od ill liiMires. and this claim was naid pre cisely according to the original nwurd of f;in(),(Min besides ii ierest tlmt being for ihe sum proven to havo lei'n expeimon hi preparations to work tlio mine with- nit regard to ils prospective value which wn made leforo I hoimi Corw in und myself hud had nny inter est in it save lor counsel fee.

For the purpose of affecting tlm election in Ohio, Gen oral Houston, a Senator from lexns, ha been induce to pernmbnlate ibis State, and publish charge against 1 noma uorwiu, ol assisting ma law partner ami rela tive to make n huge speculation out of lipht house contract in v,aniornia. tin euarge is wholly false 011, 11 11 wrm true, uencrai nousiuii, as uuairman ol uommtttM appointed to tnvoatigala thi matter, and upon whoso proceedings an injunction of secrecy was iiuposeti, lias ooeu gumy 01 a groni Tnuai.Mii m duty in ralerririg to it in public. But since he has seen proper to reler to the matter, 1 deem it my duty 10 present a tiuo statement of the facts. When Mr. Corwin wont into the Treasury Department, he found there, as chief clerk, an old man named McGmnii. whom he soon ascertained to be incompe tent to the performance of the responsible duties ot his station, in consequence of which he was removed and given a position in tlio Light House Bureau. The old mall was offended, and after 0 period approached the Secretary, and stated that he wished lo resign bis clerkship, inasmuch na he seemed not to enjoy the confidence of ihe bend of the Department! and asked in ho given some contracts for the construction of certain light houses in California. Mr. Corwin replied that a Mr. Delano, of Ohio, had asked for the tame contracts, and received some assurance that he should have them. They might, however, form a partnership in the matter, if they would build them on the terms prescribed by Congress. Delano and MiGinnia look 'ontract on the prescribed terms. About the Bfime lime a resolution was Introduced inlo the Senate by John 11. Wellor, appropriating the sum of $100,000 in addition to former appropriations for the cousirucifon of the same Light Houses. Mr. Delano, naturally surprised, asked what thia meant, and was informed by Senator Gwiu (but tho terms uoruioiore prescribed were ruinously low mat tney would lose $7,1,000 by their contract ! Poor McGinni "got scared" and annoyed Delano bo much ihat ihe latter, finding a parly who offered a bonut of $15,0(10 fur their contract, accepted tho offer, Of thia sum he paid McGiunis who had proved un incumbrance throughout $.1,000, telling him ut the same time ihat it would be oven more than a fair distribution, and that ho "had other partner.'1 McGiunis in hi rage and weakness wont about tho purlieus of iho Capital iiargiug that he htid been defrauded, nnd that was concerned wilh Delano that Delano told linn I was a partner! I, who was in Ohio and knew nothing of the matter not oven that there were any audi contracts. Hereupon, General Houston geta up his " Se nate Committee " on frauds, and sent fur tho old man Mi Ginnia to appear aud testify ; but at the same lime. it is said, privately, enjoining upon him to slay nut of tlm way, Mint the breeze might bo tanned Into a storm iy industriously using the telegraph, in thlorm the :otintry ihat an important wilnesa for the Government against n public ntlicer accused of fraud, &c, had refused to testify, was imprisoned, &c., &c The scene slither woiked nimbly, however, tor in a day or two Mr Hrodhead, of Pennsylvania, nsea in the Senate, aud announces that Mr. McGinni trill testify. At this posture ol athnrs I wus iu Washington, but could get im opportunity to appenr before the committee. Mr. Delano wns iu Ohio ami sick. I made a full deposition of all Ihe facts as I hail learned them, sent it lo the Department, und then left fur Ihio lu secure ihe tcsii mony of Mr. Delano, whom, however, I pm-sod oil tho road. I have since received information from Washington thai " Me whole matter hat been dropped ."' Do you enquire lor the key lu this hold attempt lo attach dishonor to tho name of Thomas Couwin 1 John H, Wetler whs 11 default ing bind commissioner of Hie county ot Kutler, loan amount exceeding $1.1,0110. He hail lately paid $15,00(1, and must needs raise n considerable sum for the payment of the balance, his damaged reputation standing sorely in need of certain receipts. Willi Ihe cmummico of other Senatorial worthies, who were to he helped in return, this resolution urnntim: additional compensation In the amount of $100,000 for building certain light house, was in trod need. The prettily laid scheme was defeated by ihe sale of Iho original contract on which n loss of $7.1.000 wn announced tor a bmut ol $15,000. Itnn die malignity of McGiunis, and ihe near adjournment I'Contircss were mm!e useul hy our disappointed Sen ators lor iho manutHCh.ro ol political capital, and al Ihe i ine lime tlm blackening nf tho character of the Seeretiuy of ihe Treasury! And Geuernl llouton makes n pilgrimage through Ohio to till tho ears of his old constituents, the friends, neighbor, nml admirers ol Thomas Corwin, wilh bo many stories deirimeiital to his character. This weak, vain old man. whose own character bus never been considered spotless, greatly miscalculated 1 his influence when ho undertook this business. Could I ho come with a character like that nf an angel of ligjit, he would find much ditlicnlty in making hi old con stituenls believe that Thomas Corwin ha been guilty of corrupt conduct ; but coming in the shape ol a low specimen ot the low order ut lexas politicians, his impotence is almost as worthy of pity as contempt. I cannot dismiss this big-hulled slanderer, however, without some nlluioii to his own attempts at Galphinism. And first, I will refer lo hi mileage swindle, hy which he look from the Treasury $'2400 furcDnsfmci'irc going from Washington to Texas and returning within the few minute intervening between the rloae of a regular session and I be formal calling hi order of an extra tession nf tho Senate, in 18.11. Then there is the Texas len million bill, a Houston swindle, compared with which the Swurtwouia and Galphin appear limid men and petty rogue. Mr. Corwin then pro, ded to an txpottaX Iho pur- pow subserved by the passage ol what wa known a Iho ' Texas ten million bill," showing that the enor mous sum of five millions was intended for the hold- rs of Texas bond, nf which Houston was understood lo be one, who Were now before Congress with a prop. iHHioii lo mnke Iho sum etuht millions instead ol mo. was proved lhal Houston had admitted that Texas had no valid right In the territory for which she and her public men received leu million of dollars! and yet ihe Heti dnr with llm umbrella hat and deer-skin vest beaut il'til model ol republieansimplicity 'got an amendment to the appropriation bill passed through iho Senate increasing tlm five to eight million Texan bonds wero bought at a heavy di'cminl; five mil ium of dollars would pny the principal ami omethiug more, und nllord iho holder a profit of perhaps three hundred per cent, mists hot enough tor tins virtu ous Locoloco, who one day uses his influence in the Senate lo force a hill through that body which puts money in his own pocket; aud the next denounces a brother Senator w ho goes uut into the Cnurl aud earn 11 fee by practicing hi profession.

I WILLIAM EJ10BINS0N. It has become the fashion among tho Loco- foco speakers and writers, to abuse, slander aud vilify W. E. Rohinson, who lias published an expose of Now Hampshire Locofocnistn, in connection with the Anti- Catholic test in tho Constitution of that Stale. 8am Houston attempted to abuse and vilify him in hia peech here. He did not offer to prove a single state ment of Homnion's falte, and in this he took the prudent aido, because the truth of his assertion is too abundantly sustained by reference to tho oflkial re cord, to he met by any thing except abuso. Tho Statesman, following tho example of Houston and others, haa dealt in the same kind of argument, without citing n single fact to sustain itself. The Nm York Herald published nn article over iho signature of " Hickory Switch," which bo far departed from the usual course a to attempt lu specify where Robinson had misrepresented. The following answer prepared by him, was offered tn the Herald, but with his characteristic want of political honesty, Uknnrt refuted lo publish it. We trust it will be carefully rend. It is a full, able, and triumphant defence of his speech, and putt Houston, and the other abusers of Rohinson Hat on their backs. Abuse and vilification will not pass for fads, in a controversy of tbis kind : Mr. Robingon'i Reply. To the Editor of the New York It. raid : Naw York, Friday, Sept. 3, 18!2. I now turn to " Hickorv Switch." Whv was he afrnid to give hi name 1 No honest man reason from behind n mask. Let him como nut nnd tho money is hi, if ho proven that I have stated what is unsustained by Ihe official documents. Instead, however, of selecting any one of these propositions, according lo my offer, ho deals in generalities, and, without submitting ihe decision lo any referee, claims that twelve of my (eight) propositions are false ! Hut I will follow him through his twisting. Tho first point ho raises ia that Benjamin Pierce, when he voted to retain ihe sixth article in Ihe constitution of 1792, providing, " for the support of public Protestant leacliers." so voted for the sake of extending ihe pro led ion of the law to " every denomination nl Christians." I have nut said irAyhe voted to keep the Anti-Cniholic test in ; I only said he did vote lo koep it in ; and this " Hickory Switch" acknowledges is inie. I doubt the truth of hi assertion ihat in 7(J'i there wu neither Catholic nor Jew in Now Hampshire; nor would tlmt niter the principle even if it were so. The next point attempted in ho ma do is that, un ihe four 1J1 day of Ihe Convention, Benjamin Pierce did not vote for retaining Ihe words " shall lie nf (he 1'ro-leaiantaut religion, in the 14th section. The writer, however, acknowledges that Benjamin Pierce is not recorded among those in favor id Catholic Emancipation. The records show tlmt he was present, ami every one vol ing in favor of atriking out tho " odious ilistine-lion " is recorded, 'and three more than tlio ntlicial number interlined ; yol Benjamin Pierce does not tip rear among the original recorded friends of Cailmlic Emancipation, nor even among the interlineations. In such a contest aa this, it does not need inspired auihor-iiy In prove that he who ia not for i ngainst ns, particularly as wo find that on a previous section he voted to retain the word " Protestant." The next assertion of "Hickory Switch" is, that in my speecn l asserted there wn no anti-Popery clause in the original constitution, till Ben Pierce nut it in. I never said ao. W hat I said appears as follow, 011 the fourth pie of my speech in pamphlet : 1 lie nrsi constitution wan forimd in r.xeier tn I77n, d wm called the ' Temporary Constitution.' I read in manuscript, and found iu it no anti -Catholic test. Ihat we bad 110 bigotry nil after Ihe Uovoluiion. All his remarks 011 this head, the re lore 110 for notli ing, ns Ihey go to ubsnt what i never said. tt is not wor'li wlnle to ouihb onhoot whether Be 11 jamin Pierre voted tn put ihe Ami, Catholic test in the uonsiibitiori ot 17!i, or voted against striking it out. When n Convention is called to form an entirely now Constitution, and a Committee report n draft, whether original or copied from a part of the old Constitution. nnd a motion is made in strike out, any portion of ihoe uiai voie against striking out, vole lo put it in no next denies my assertion that old benjamin ierce voted for the Alien and Sedition Laws. If he ill look into (he ntlicial report of the hroeeeilines of iho New Hampshire Legislature, iu 17!l!, of which Benjamin Pierce was a member, he will find llie Alien and Sedition resolution in full, and that ihey wero unanimoutly adopted, June 14, I7!!. Il lakes some rniruiuooti in deny bo plain a historical and recorded truth as ihi. He says (hat I asserted that Franklin Pierce never made any snoech nn iho subject at all. I never said so. What I said is contained in ihe first of the eight proposition. If nny of Mr. Pierce'e friends can show tent he spoke in favor of striking out the Anti-Catholic lci tehtte that tuhjeet was before the Contention, I will forfeit Ihe sum mentioned. 11 is next point is. that it waa not Mr. Parker, f Whie) if Nashua, ihat brought forward the aulnect of Cat ho- lio Emancipation, when it was discussed, (Nov. Ill, ieoir.;as 1 nave staled in proamnion no. indeed, he round I y asserts : " It does not aiuwur bv the record ihat Mr. Parker had any thing lu do with either bring ing torwnrd or favoring the resolution. I crave special attention to this. I havo the official reportconipleie.iii my room in this City, where any one interested can see it. Now, just look at the fol lowing ox t far Is, nnd ihe 11 pulce between "Hickorv Switch," and me. Tho leading debate, when Judge Woodbury made Ins great speech on Catholic Emancipation, look place Nov. 13, 1810. Now, hero are two extracts verbatim from Ihe report of that day's proceedings : " On motion of Mr. Parker, of jVosAroi. the Convention resolved itsell into (be Committee of the Whole on the report of the committee on Properly Ijualilicntiona and ifeiigious tests, Mr. Kayer, ol Nashua, 111 the chuir.

From Ihe official report of the proceed inL's of No vember 14, I lake ihe following report or correction verbatim : " In our report of yesterday, Mr. Parker. itf Nashua, should have been re pi tried ns savin thai he drafted the resolution in favor of altolithing the Religions 111, niui 1 nm 1 ih-iii witn im tnonrrucD 111 opinion among the committee Uhiii the subject" Concord Patriot, November 1.1, Ifl.10. And vet. Mr. " Hickorv Switch " snvs Mr. Parker the author of (he resolution, bad nothing rftdo wilh favoring or blinking forward the resolution! Oh! Mr. Heimet: you see how hard it is for me tn a rime with a foul-mouihfd crew, who utter such reckless untruths without risking a penny, which might ho lost, or even giving Iheir mime, which might be branded in iheir exposure! Mr. "Hickory Switch" says, perhaps 1 mean to quibble by saying that advocating Catholic Biimucipa- lion 111 rommmefl 01 llie w Hole was not advocating il in Convention. I mean no such quibble. I repeat my first proposition that Franklin Pierce did net speak in favor of Catholic Emancipation, either in Convention or committee of the Wlmle, during tho whole lime the matter wns heforo the Convention or coininiliee, and one hundred dollars are ready for the man who will shew thai I mistake the facts. The next and Inst charge I shall notice, is. lluit I shi ted lhal a mere majority could alter the Constitution. I never made such an assertion, the fact thai I quoted the clause nf the Constitution providing lhal a majority nt two third of the voles cast shall lie, necessary, shows this. Uut what I did state, and what is true. is that every seven years ihe Qonstituliou of I7!'J com pelled the people lo vole wbeiher a Convention lo sbike nut such odious feature as lest clauses from the Constitution should be called, and that again and again anon lor urn want 01 a bare majority.

Wn copy 11 portion of it thai tho people may bo again reminded of tho facts, and lhn radical difference between llie l wo parties iu the manage ment of the finances ol ihe Stale. Let the reader compare Iho expenses of Legislatures and of printing when under the Whig rule, wilh the opiHisitc. The difference is about the same in nil the departments of Ihe public service: Well, after the Whigs hud done all this, in 18.11-2, the Lttcos got into power. They promised lo give us a cheap model Constitution, and a Locofoco model Tnx Law with iiono of yonr Whig monstrosities. They pave us a Constitution with some good provi-rioiia, and lomo Loco inoiiatroities--nt an expense of tiou,uoii more uinu 1110 gnou oni w nig one cost. Thai Constitution provides for biennial sessions of Ihe Legis lature, or one 111 two year out tue nrsi been Legislature under it provided for tico sessions of the Legislature in one yearl They have given us Iheir model 'l ux Law, which taxes nut only what Loco editor charged wn wrong, but "everything subject tonwnership, animate or inanimate" even including sucking rios, treks, tom-cats, nrrs, rxwriCR srimns, chickens, orxsr, bi-hi ka, eic. , and banks three In four time as much a in-dithlutils.

No unequal and unjust is it, that we bnve seen no fanner or landholder who does not condemn it, either Whig or Loco. Hut ihe Slnlesman, Shirk Connly Democrat, etc., are silent on ihe subject .none of ihem denounce any pari of it now.
